The VMware vCenter Orchestrator plug-in for vCenter Chargeback Manager allows you to simplify the accounting of resources in your virtual infrastructure by extending the robust workflow automation platform of VMware to the vCenter Chargeback Manager environment.

The included, pre-built workflows simplify the process to get you started with custom workflow creation.
